For sure, Webots can be used exactly for this kind of things. However, you have to be sure that you design your model properly, including a correct mass distribution, joint length, servo forces and limits, etc... Then, you can send a motion to the model and if it work in simulation, then, there is good hope it will work also on the real robot. For your information, we created a model of DARwIn-OP robot (Robotis) and feed our simulation model with several motions that were designed on the real robot. All of them worked perfectly and we could see the simulated robot walk and do other movement just like the real one.
