Yes, they will. I stand to be corrected but I don't think you'll be able to use the stock charger on these, though. The stock battery is NiCd and the one in your link is NiMH. Even if the stock charger did work, you'd be looking at about 10 hours for full charge.

Nope - those are NiMH as well and won't work with the stock charger. Better pony up the money for a decent NiCd/NiMH charger first and buy some batteries. I have a Duratrax Piranha charger with a pair of 3000Mah NiMH batteries... think I spent $80 total. I can can run for over an hour if I want to in my WK with a 20t motor. |
