Design History

Ultimate R/C Network, 3/01 - present

The URC Network is my personal pet project, dedicated to my hobby and the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of fellow R/C hobbyists worldwide. The Network actually started with UltimateTraxxas.com, dedicated to showing off my first few major projects and supporting & inspiring customers of one particular manufacturer. The umbrella site, UltimateRC.com, was not launched until June 2002. In November '02, a major software upgrade was undertaken and the forums were reset. As of January 1, '2003, there were 536 registered members. A year later, that number had topped 7,400 without the help of any advertising. In '06, membership surpassed 21,000.
