The main problem will be getting your ESC to run on 1S, unless it is designed to run on 1S you will usually need a separate receiver pack or a voltage booster.

Check the height of the saddle 'half' to make sure it will fit under the centre-shock of a 12th car; many won't.
Looking at that track, I'd be tempted to try a GT12 car for it's smaller size and easier handling. You can use all your 1/10th O-R kit in that, but will need a booster or receiver pack to work with 1S. GT 12 has room for a standard servo, and no centre-shock so your saddle 'half' will fit with a bit of packing to stop it rattling around in the space for 4C or 1S. HTH
