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.

Dont worry about being a n00ber youll slowly master the ways of rc at least you trying to buy/research the good stuff first before spending a crap load of money

i know a hobby store where i got 2 4200mAh batts for $60 free shipping google search b&r hobbies

also have you heard of tower hobbies? they have a crap load of everything like batts and chargers

on a 6cell pack usually the more mAh the more battery life some others factors come into play like discharge rate (more power when you need it)and stuff like that i dont think anyone uses racing packs when crawling because if they did theyve gone to lipo already
you should also look for nimh and nicd type batteries nimh are better than nicd( stock wk batt) some chargers cannot charge both types
charger:buy this its cheap and a fast charger plus it charges nimh and nicd type batteries
