I don't know of anybody that builds a full kit with mechanical and electrical components "ready to run" for an X2. Most of the kits I have seen are ball screw/bracket kits, and you have to supply your own motors/drivers/power supply. Just make sure the motors are the right frame size for the kit you buy.

If you are just looking for the electrical package to be assembled, Keling doesn't do that, you can get something like that from flashcut as I recall (more $$), and it looks like probotix will put everything in a box for you, but looks like it is an extra charge.

The nice thing about the X2 is that so many people have done conversions that there is a ton of information out there.

If you go with the 4 conductor cable posted on that E-bay link it will not work with the probotix drivers as they are unipolar. Unipolar needs 6 wires. If you go with a bipolar driver you can use a 4 conductor.

here are the videos this guy at hoss machine is good and speaks in laymans terms
one thing that needs to be said is check the voltage from the power supply they are adjustable I would do it before wiring anything and set all the switches on the cards. wire the cards and double check everything again before powering up. the card settings I can help with once you have them and their data sheets
I'll go look at the ebay item you posted and shop a bit for you what is your limit on cost for a set including power supply, controller(s), breakout board and motors give me a max and i'll help you find the most for the money
