Of course, like I said, your receiver and servo must support the battery voltage so anything outside of 1s or 2s is bound not to work and may fry your receiver and servo.

Plus, unlike with a BEC your servo will not have constant voltage and therefore get slower with decreasing battery voltage so your car will not handle consistently over the run.
