Keep in mind that 2003 was a radically different RC than today's C-based controllers. The radio protocols changed as well in 2004, and so 255 doesn't have the stigma it used to. You may not see any difference between 255 and 254 in actual PWM output, but the only thing weird about 255 now is that 255+1 = 0.
