I dont think so. It needs 8 1.5 volt batteries so its 12 volts, 8 1.2volt rechargables would be 9.6 volts and thats usually when most controllers start blinking red.
Many people run nimh in their radios. I've got them in right now at 10.8 volts and full battery meter. Thats why they have charging jacks for radios.
