based on those numbers that's enough power for a 71" slick, that's for sure!.

Jackson that motor is 95g (3.35oz) heavier then the motor I run in my slick... My setup I would consider heavy. I put my rudder servo in the tail, so that motor will definitely require a push pull rudder setup. With 830g worth of batteries the extra 95g is a deal breaker for me. I have flown with various battery setups from 12s2600-3300 and it does fine with the heavier batts but it definitely flys different with anything heavier then the 2-2600s (830g). If you are doing limited low and slow the setup will be fine, IMO.

I have flown the BEC pro for hundreds of flights of the 1st main pack in my 12s setup powering HV servos at 8.0V.

A60-5S is too heavy for the Slick. my new Slick needed the rudder servo in the back with even an A60-6XS. and the 5S is definitely heavier...

Just my opinion of course..

If I buy the 6xs do you all think my castle ice 100 will be up to the task. I just kind of bummed right now when I bought this power system it was on list that 3dhs says to run on there slick now I find out its to heavy

Yes, the ICE100 is sufficient for the A60-6XS on 6S. On 8S, you can go with smaller packs, so, you might be able to use the A60-5S with something like 3300mAH packs...
