Not unless you get a BEC unit, you will kill your servo, LED's and your receiver. You can get a BEC pretty cheap, just make sure your speed control can handle the 11.1 and your motor, I run 3 cell lipos on my comp, but I have a BEC that is set to 6 volts to save my radio equipment. Here is a couple links,
