Yes, the stock electronics will handle 100C fine. The C rating is more about NOT killing the Battery. Higher C batteries can take more amp load without damage or dropping voltage.
The motor draws the load, the ESC is the gateway, the battery supplies the load. A good 50C battery will be fine in a Typhon 3s, and only very experienced users will notice the very tiny difference in punch that the 100C would give. For sure the difference won't be enough for a starter racer to move up in lap times.
If you were jumping from a 20C to a 50C, then I would say most people would notice a difference in punch in your Typhon, and the 20C may cause problems with the car that a 50C would solve.
One other idea - If you have the idea of ever buying a 6s truck, get a second battery that is a twin to the one you have, and try to keep about the same number of cycles on them. If they are matched (same brand, same line, same age, same MAH Same C, similar cycle count) you can run them together as a 6s. A good 50C battery will be fine in the Typhon 3s and a Kraton 6s.
