69roadrunner - OPTO means optically isolated - so there is no electrical conection from the ESC to the Rx, the throttle signal is received via an opto-coupler - OPTO ESC's are usualy for high cell counts - theory being that the high voltages & currents being switched by the ESC could cause noise interference in the Rx via an electricaly connected path.
