I have my Rastan on thick carpet, which makes it hard to move around. Are there any type of sliders I can attached to the bottom of the wood to make it move easier?

Most of us have less thick carpet, but any of the "mover" gliders (cup with a white bottom that goes on the feet) will make it easier to move.

If the game digs in, get bigger sliders (force over area.)
 
Here are the sliders that I use on pretty typical medium pile carpet. A heavy cabinet is still a bit tricky to pull out of the lineup without moving the machines next to it. But for a cabinet out by itself where you can push instead of pull, it works pretty well.

 
Typically the slider that you can attach to the cab doesn't give you the wider surface you need to side across a thick carpet.

Using too good of a slider might give you stability issues while playing your game.

You want your game solid enough to stay put during a heated game.

You might want to experiment to see what works for you.

Personally I have used cardboard to help slide a game about on industrial carpet.
For me the game stays but when I play.
