Yeah, I did. :)

Really though, I think the controller almost has to add a little time to go from on to off or vice versa, otherwise the back EMF spike from a perfect square wave would be very bad on the electronics! So, I guess that little bit on inefficiency is probably good in a way. I wonder if these ESCs use avalanche diodes to prevent such a thing? I don't even have my ESC yet (but was ordered today!) and already I'm planning to study the circuitry!
