I haven't read or heard of the 417X or any of the revised parts as being designed specifically for carpet. In a traditional sense carpet specific chassis are thicker resulting in a stiffer car. I don't believe the revised chassis is thicker and/or stiffer. As Ed and others have mentioned the new chassis and motor mount provides more flex. Since I've never run TC on carpet I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Good news is a new carpet track opened up so I'll have all winter to figure it out.
