read my post. i linked you to a 4s single. do not run a 3s. you will get about 10-12 mins runtime with the 3800's no matter what configuration you use. if your desperate, go for the 5800's and spend 2x the money. 12 cells ni-mh is 14.4 volts, and 4s li-mn is 14.8, or 16.8 when fully charged. 3s would be about the same speed because of the massive decrease in weight.
