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...

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
