Can anybody tell me or point me to info on the approx amp draw of a 600A+ in a swift 16
for 5S setup. I have found 6S numbers but no 5S numbers.

Thanks

Of course that is very dependant on the blades used (the longer the more power is required), the pinion used rlating to rotor speed (the higher the pinion (rotor speed) the more is the amount of power required) and the flight maneuvers.

My Swift 16 on 5 cells and geared for 1920 head speed on 530mm mainblades averages 44 amps through 3D maneuvers and 38 in the hover....from my EagleTree test graphs

Yup, a little higher amp draw than a 6S. So sounds like a 60 amp ESC should work well with 6S and 5S at least in mild 3D flight. Thanks for that feedback.
