Default Hobbie Grade?

What is the cheapest Hobbie grade elect....can you run in these? I have two I was going to sell but things fell through on another deal. So I'm not ready to sell them. So now I want to make a 2.2 comp crawler want-a-be.

Things I will do.
Stick type chassis
4 wheel steering
Hobbie grade elcet.
2.2's

I know I need a ESC, 2 servo's, 2 servo savers, and radio is that it? What the cheapest I can buy these for? If anything just tell me what to look for and I'll look up the price for them. Thanks again.

This is what I just bought: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXASX4**&P=0 . Why do you need 2 servos? I am a total noob at this stuff, so I hope I didn't buy something I can't use.

New Traxxas TQ3 transmitter, receiver and crystal set with the rear steering kit already installed. A complete Ready-To-Run radio system for rock crawlers with four wheel independent steering. $65 BUCKS or $55 Bucks without rear steer. This is the cheapest I have found.

Oh ok rear steer, thats why you need 2 servos. Guess I should read a little more carefully before I post. The link I posted, should that setup work ok? I don't plan on doing rear steer.
