I don't know about the RoboRIO, but my AR400 RX is capable of driving 4x of the old style Talons while being powered off the 5V rail on a PDB and it's not exactly a high end piece of kit (I think it was the cheapest 4 channel RX my local store had) [1] Unless you mean old 884/883 style Victors in which case, I'd have to wire something up.
[1] mechanical folks wanted all motors tied to one stick. I could either put a full control system on the bot or cheat and use the RX/TX system I had sitting around for other things. I'm lazy.
