In 2026, Double E introduced the new E022 Scania 4×4 RC Dump Truck.
This officially licensed Scania RC dump truck is built at 1/14 scale, measuring approximately 538 × 223 × 247 mm and weighing around 7 kg. The E022 uses a 4×4 drivetrain with all-metal gears, stainless-steel driveshafts, all-metal axles, and a differential system. Power comes from a 540 motor paired with a planetary reduction gearbox with selectable high and low speeds.
The E022 uses a CNC-machined alloy dump bed powered by an electric screw lifting mechanism. The bed provides a large dumping angle and features a quick-release design for easier removal and maintenance.
The Scania cab features a simulated interior and detailed interior decals. An interchangeable magnetic high roof allows the truck to switch between two different cab appearances.
For control, the E022 comes with a high-precision digital steering servo, a realistic lighting system, and a 10-channel professional color-screen transmitter with additional channels reserved for expansion. A sound system is available as an optional upgrade.

Now, let’s look back at several notable Double E RC dump trucks that have appeared on Wave-RC over the past few years.
2021: E590 Mercedes-Benz Arocs
The Double E E590 Mercedes-Benz Arocs had already appeared publicly by 2021. This 1/20-scale Arocs dump truck features proportional throttle and steering, a metal dump bed, lights, sound, and opening cab doors.
The E590 uses a conventional 4×4 truck layout and can be controlled either with the supplied transmitter or through a smartphone app. Front and rear suspension, together with proportional throttle and steering, make slow-speed driving, reversing, and positioning at the dumping area easier to control than on basic on/off RC trucks.
After several years on the market, more detailed long-term usage reports have also appeared.
One owner who tested and repaired an E590 experienced motor-wire failures near the solder joints on two occasions. The truck was disassembled and repaired, while the reviewer still praised its cab, opening doors, lighting, sound, and overall scale detail.
Other community discussions have documented drivetrain problems where the rear wheels continued to rotate while the truck could no longer drive normally. For a model that has been in use for several years, repair reports like these are more useful than short five-star comments when evaluating long-term ownership.

2022–2023: E591 Volvo A40G
The Double E E591 Volvo A40G is a 1/20-scale 6WD articulated dump truck with a payload of approximately 3 kg and a maximum dump angle of around 45 degrees. It also features proportional throttle, proportional articulated steering, and suspension.
Unlike the E590, the E591 does not steer through the front wheels alone. The truck changes direction through the articulation joint between the front and rear sections of the chassis. Its six-wheel-drive system and suspension also help it travel over uneven surfaces while carrying a load.
The E591 has accumulated considerably more detailed owner feedback than many newer Double E models.
Across verified purchaser reviews, owners repeatedly mention the truck’s turning radius, articulated steering, and terrain capability as major strengths. A recurring criticism is its relatively low weight and extensive use of plastic compared with heavier metal construction models.
Some owners use the E591 alongside other RC construction equipment and describe it as a useful middle ground between basic toy-grade machines and considerably more expensive heavy-duty hobby models. The term “Hobby Lite” has also been used to describe this position.
The feedback is fairly consistent: owners tend to praise the E591’s articulated steering and terrain capability, while its relatively light weight is one of the most commonly mentioned drawbacks.

2023: E117 Volvo A40G Hydraulic Hauler
The Double E E117 Volvo A40G Hydraulic Hauler moved the A40G platform into a much larger 1/16-scale metal hydraulic format.
The E117 features a metal body, all-wheel drive, oscillating suspension, a 240 drive motor, metal gears, and a metal transmission shaft. Its dump bed is powered by a true hydraulic lifting system with a maximum tipping angle of approximately 72 degrees, hydraulic pressure of up to around 6 MPa, and a rated payload of up to 30 kg.
Structurally, the E117 and E591 belong to very different classes. The E591 is a lighter 1/20 electric RTR articulated hauler, while the E117 moves into a much larger metal hydraulic platform.
Hands-on demonstrations show the E117 operating its two-speed transmission, differential locks, wheel-side reduction, and hydraulic dump system.
Some users have also carried out extreme lifting demonstrations, placing approximately an adult person’s body weight on the truck while operating the hydraulic lift. This is obviously not a substitute for the manufacturer’s rated payload and should not be treated as normal operating practice, but it does provide a direct demonstration of the hydraulic system’s lifting force.
