Wouldn't surprise me actually, if you think about it she had her flywheel fitted after that. So may as well let the old one go out in style

They said the flywheel was interchangeable with the chainsaw but as far as I'm aware there were actually two whole Matildas, one with the chainsaw and one with the flywheel (noticed that in a picture in one of the live event programmes back in 2001). Never saw the chainsaw Matilda in a fight after the flywheel came in though, bit of a shame since it was the original setup, even though it was becoming pretty ineffective.
