I have one of the GiantCod transmitter/receiver kits and it does the job, but it is basic. Four channels, servo reversing and built-in mixing, but that's it. I've gone through a couple of receivers though, not sure as to the exact reason but both have stopped working after the robot has sustained large impacts.

On the other hand, if you opt for the conversion kit, it'll be a similar price, but you keep all the existing functions on your transmitter. If you've got a computer-based transmitter, all your model memories, fancy functions etc are all retained. I've got a couple of sets now and they all bind successfully, never had a problem with them.

Either way, going to 2.4GHz is pretty cheap, but I'd recommend the FrSky system over the GiantCod/RadioLink system.
