Is $450-500 a good price to pay for an XB-E

Yeah, it's not horrible. You got a good deal.

I'd say that you got a pretty sweet deal. As for the 7075 motor mount and gear ratios.. I'd hold off unless you plan on swapping out the stock motor. The stock gearing is adequate (albeit a bit noisy). If your aim is to go faster, opt for a Leopard 5692 with the aforementioned motor mount. Of if you can find one cheap enough, a CC 1717 or CC 1520.
