5000mah packs will give you more runtime than 3600mah packs. This does not mean you can't use the 3600mah packs. The higher the mah rating, the more runtime you gain.
Recommended by HPI:
Two NiMH (up to 8-cell flat or stick packs) with Deans connectors, or 2S or 3S LiPo hard case battery packs, 25C minimum (both batteries must be the same type, voltage and capacity)

Congrats on your Purchase. That thing is a freaking monster. Please post pics, vids, whatever.
How could it hurt the ESC? If it was Improper Amperage/Voltage that would be another story. I'm sure they're just reco'ing that Minimum so you have a descent run time.
Whether you get 3 cell for balls out power or just 2cell I'd get gensacearespammers Lipos. Make sure they're the exact same packs robmob said.

get your Flux's esc ratings on bateries, as long as both packs are the same like robmob said, you can any size you want but max or under the esc battery configurations.

Read this excellent post http://www.beatyourtruck.com/forum/...ds-to-Savage-Flux-Lipo-s-gears-NIMH-and-diffs It sounds like HPI has bad ass Customer Support.
Run at least a 25c Lipo, I can't imagine how you'd be running anything lower then that anyhow.
Post Pics of that bad boy when you get a chance.
