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.

man it says the stcok batts will only last for 20 mins. can i get a link do you think to a battery with a long life that will charge on my regular charger?

id buy a decent charger first rather than a battery, my charger can charge a stock wk battery in 15min

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.

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"thumbsup"
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
