Is it possible if you disconnect the drive shaft?

I am sure MarksDTM has done it several times.

There was a post on here a while back, and he explained how to do it.

Go for it, but I'd recommend that you tow it on the end of a rigid tow pole for the sake of the poor bugger in it when he/she want to stop it. :o Omegas are heavy & without your servo are a bugger to stop - they're not that easy to steer either, but there's not much you can do about that, apart from have a bowl of Weet-a-bix before hand!! Been there - done that! :(  :(
