Double Eagle E591 RTR 1/20 6WD Ready-to-Run RC Volvo A40G Articulated Dump Truck
Double Eagle E591 RTR 1/20 6WD Ready-to-Run RC Volvo A40G Articulated Dump Truck
The Double Eagle E591 is a licensed 1/20-scale replica of the Volvo A40G articulated hauler, featuring 6-wheel drive, a fully functional tipping dump bed with 3 kg load capacity, working LED lights, realistic engine and horn sounds, and a 2.4 GHz transmitter. This RC dump truck is perfect for kids and collectors who love construction machinery.
Performance
Powered by a strong brushed motor, the 6WD system delivers excellent traction on dirt, gravel, grass, and indoor floors. The articulated steering gives a tight turning radius, and the metal-reinforced dump bed lifts smoothly even when loaded with sand or small stones. Top speed is around 4–5 km/h – slow enough for precise control, fast enough to feel realistic. Runtime averages 18–25 minutes on a full charge.
Build Quality
Mostly high-impact plastic with a metal dump bed and metal drive shafts for durability. Oil-filled shocks and rubber tires handle light off-road play well. The electronics are splash-proof, and all 6 wheels are powered. Users report it survives drops from tables and rough backyard use, though the plastic wheel hexes can round out after months of heavy hauling (metal upgrades available).
Control
2.4 GHz pistol-grip transmitter with proportional throttle, steering, bed lift, lights, and sound on/off. Range reaches 35–50 m outdoors. Steering is smooth thanks to the articulated chassis design. Transmitter requires 2×AA batteries (not included).
Design and Features
Officially licensed Volvo A40G detailing, working LED headlights/taillights, engine start-up sound, horn, and hydraulic pump noises. The bed raises to ~45° and holds up to 3 kg. Quick-release body pins make battery swaps easy.
Special Notes: True Ready-to-Run — arrives fully assembled with 7.4 V 1200 mAh Li-ion battery + USB charger. Only needs 2×AA for the transmitter. Recommended for ages 8+.
