I know people with both and it's not like the 417 will make you any faster. Heck I see some 415s tearing it up still.

417 vs 417X
...................Ha Ha Ha! 
I have both 417X and the 417 and I like the original 417 with 13.5 and the 417X with 17.5.
To me it seems very similar but I need more steering with the 17.5 so I run the 417X and with the 13.5 I don't need hardly as much steering so I run the original 417. I hope this makes sense. To me the "X" has more steering!
So, on carpet it's very close to how both feel. This is dependent on set-up driving style etc,etc.
Just my 2$

Regular 417 seems easier to drive on carpet.

Hi everyone
I'm looking for O-rings to rebuild my Tamiya shocks. I see the part # is 53574 but it includes the teflon parts which I don't need. ( At least i think I don't need them ... just want to chage the bottom o-ring as regular maintenance).
Does tamiya have a part number for O-rings alone ?
Does another brand sell orings that fit ? I mean REALLY fit, at least as good as the original O-ring, not something that binds or leaks...
Thanks guys !

thanks for the super-quick answer !
The 84195 are an absolute no-go, they are super tight on the rod, and the material is way too hard. But they are nice to have if you want to use them under a screw to mount, for instance, a top plate in a flexible way.
As for the others... could you comment on the respective merits of each item ? I see none of them are the transperent kind found in the box. Are the x rings good ?
