Ivan - Go to: http://www.rc10.com/racerhub/techhelp/tech10l.htm . Your exact answer's probably somewhere on that page. I think you'd have to at least buy or drill the lower cross-brace on the rear to use the L2 roadcourse chassis and making it into an oval car would involve a whole new rear (narrow) pod.
Ivan: According to AE, no it won't. The whole rear pod and chassis brace assembly is different. You basically have to change everything but the front suspension and the motor plate.
For the cost, you could just buy an RC10L2 and convert it to an L3.
The reason it wont work is because the rear pod of the 10Ls is wider than an oval car. The axle and diff hub are much longer when compared side by side w/ that of an oval car
Anyone still thinking about going to run the NORRCA Nationals in Vegas in a week and a half should know that the entry deadline of 09/14 has been lifted as of 9/12. They will now take entries up to Thursday night at the track.
Taz – Did anyone from NorCal enter that you know of? They only had 8 entries for the class as of a little while ago, and counting myself, I know that seven of those are us SoCal guys.

Actually, AE has a list of parts needed to convert an RC10L2 to use the 3-shock setup. I guess it uses some parts from the RC10L3 Touring. I'm thinking that the 10L3-T uses the same width rear pod as a 10L2, but a different axle to keep the width down to 190mm. If that's the case, then you could use the standard 10L axle to get the standard width.

What they do with the 10L3T is the use a 12L3O Rear pod with the 10L3O rear axle with diffent hups to get it down to the 190mm.. You can use 10L3O part to make the 10L2O with a 3-shock setup.
I do not know if you can make a 10LS or a 10LSS in to a 10L2 or 10L2O.

No, you can't. Associated has pointed this out in their RC10L Tech section. For the price of all the parts you'd need, you could buy a whole new RC10L2 kit.
