That should be enough to replace all of your lower links (two front straight, bent rears), tie rod, drag link and chassis braces. You'll only need one...

no you do not need 2 kits as it includes:
2 lower rear 30 degree bent links
2 lower front links
4 upper y links (f and r)
1 upper drag link
1 lower drag link
2 chassis spacers
14 spacers
dont forget the RTR hardware upgrade kit

Go buy 1/4 aluminum tube with an .049 wall thickness you can make your own links, I picked up 6 feet for $17. I made enough links for two crawlers and still had 2 feet left over. Use an 8/32 tap down the center and 3/4 inch set screws to attach the rod ends and your in business. The tubing can be cut real easy with a small tube cutter and all the lenghts are listed in the Axial manual.

I would recommend buying 5/16th delrin. Slippery than snot on rocks and just as strong as aluminum. And the best part 5' of rod for 5 to 8 bucks
