Perhaps motor performance would suffer since nicads are only 1.2V and regulars are 1.5V. Can't think of any other reason.

** The warning against Ni-Cds is most likely a safety issue.

An alkaline AA will deliver about 10 amps if shorted while a Ni-Cd AA can deliver up to 50 amps - enough to burn wiring and destroy small motors.
