If you look at the pictures between mine and Keemos plane you will see a large difference between the motor box length. His picture jumped out at me so I measured mine and found almost an inch shorter. So if your measurement is in the 3.5 inch or less you have the newer version. If you have the longer motor box I would send it back and await the new version. It gripes me that Cheif or Troy Built don't say anything about which version they are shipping, knowing the DLE V1 is not available anymore. I guess they don't want to be stuck with old stock. Sales before service.
