As long as it's 12 volts (and nearly every car battery is), it won't hurt any of the electric components.

Since most car batteries are not sealed, you would have to be careful on how its mounted- it must be straight up and no chance of it getting tipped over. Battery acid sucks.

It's also likely to be heavier which might reduce your speed, just keep that in mind. Your motors are also likely to get nice a toasty if you run them long, you might invest in a can of coolant.
