Firstly, the components known as voltage regulators tend to regulate voltage downward--like a 15 V supply regulated to 12 V.

Secondly, you have a backup battery connector on the RC which is intended to serve this purpose. Connect a 7.2 V battery (such as the one from the Robovation kit) to the RC, and it will power it, even if the main battery is depleted.
