Tamiya says "polyurethane-glass reinforced lower deck will provide your chassis with superior pitch and chassis roll rigidity which will lead to improved handling, traction, and suspension effects".

As you may also have seen, they will release new motor plate 54276, that is 2.5 grams lighter than std and also have "protrusion to allow for an improved attachment with the motor cover and protection against dust"
New reinforced front suspension arms too (#54265).
This is what Tamiya use for the "softer" plastics on the high-end cars. I assume the standard chassis has the carbon reinforcement? Usually they mark the moulding somewhere with an arrow pointing to "cf" or "gf".
