3800mah is more than enough, you could probably do two races without recharging. I could do 3 races on my 4500mah shorty battery in a 8.5t 2wd buggy if I wanted to.

The 100c rating refers to the discharge rate NOT the charging rate. I'd guess that the burst rating so the continuous rating would be 50c which is normal for most new batteries.

I'd alway recommend charging at a maximum of 1c, so 3.8a for a 3800mah battery and use a lipo bag
Some lipos can be charged at more than 1c but that will shorten its life.
