You could probably do that - but you'd have to write RCX software to decode
the pulse-width modulated signals from the radio control system. If you
can write good software then that might be possible with something like
the LegOS firmware - but not with the standard Lego firmware - it's just
not fast enough.
You'd probably be better off trying to figure out a mechanical linkage
from the radio control servomotors to (say) a light sensor or a rotation
sensor and having the RCX read that.
