Have some questions about an rc controller

So I am building a personal robot and I don't really want to use a fancy robot control system for it. I would like to use an rc remote from like a helicopter if possible. The bot I'm building requires cim motors for the drive since it's very heavy. My question, is can talons be controlled by any standard pwm output, or does it needs the roborio or other. I need to be able to get as much power from the wheels as possible and I don't think the little 5v ece rc controller from andymark will cut it. Any help would be appreciated. I'm great with cad and design but not really with control systems.
