Considering how narrow the striker is, and therfore the pheonix as well, I would expect the locost chassis would be too wide around the cockpit area, and the overal width would need reducing or the wheels would stick out a fair way.
Just assumptions though.

The tiger gets body is designed to FTP straight onto an Avon , looks very similar. Don't think your a million miles from me if you want to take some measurements

Isn't a standard Locost based on a Mk2 escort rear end, and the early Strikers and Furys were based on that too.

distance between front and rear wheel centres on my Pheonix is about 220cm.
