Grittner,

I am not familiar with running the Opti on the BD, but have run it on a Vbar with Xbus. The most important cable from the Kosmik is the master, which must receive the throttle pulse from your Tx. From there you may wire however makes the most sense for your setup. Since you have a full receiver setup, power will flow across more wires than just a Bus cable. I would think you should be fine running the slave/Opti as you mention. I always say it is best to provide the most power to the location which all servos are connected.
