Yes and no.
You'd need a voltage regulator for one thing. Though there are some that do it I'm not a big fan of softpack lipos in nitros due to the inherent vibration and if you crash you're likely to puff up the pack and or let the smoke out of it. LiIon packs with regulators are the way to go for nitro helis, mine can go 10+ flights between charges.
