Depending what brand of TX, the Traxxas TQ3,JR XS3's, many others run on 8 AA's at 1.25v per cell = 10v. Going with a 3s is fine,I personally use a Voltage regulator to play safe.
The Spektrums like the DX3 S&R use 4 AA's and a 2s is usable but again to play it safe I use a Voltage regulator where many do not and have great success and no issues.

Losi and several other companys have a built in regulator right in the pack to determin safe voltage.
