The effectiveness of Slingers vs. Huskarls depends on the amount of both units and the micromanagement. A goth player can train Huskarls quickly, but he still needs the resources. Furthermore, in order to train Elite Huskarls quickly, the Goth player must have a castle and do the elite upgrade and both UT, which cost in total 400 wood, 1650 food and 1300 gold. A Slinger cost 30 food and 40 gold, while a Huskarl cost 52 food and 26 gold. With similar economies, I think an Inca player can train sufficient Slingers can defeat Huskarls.
