I agree on the 40 amp breakers. Once those things heat up, they're really prone to tripping.

With 6 full size CIMs on drive, you can trip the main doing full forward to full reverse. It's scary to think it could happen in a competition. Also, once you've driven for a minute or so, you can get the battery voltage low enough to cause the radio to drop out. Those CIMs can draw 100 amps at stall. It'll take a few seconds for the 40 amps to start tripping, but the 120 amp breaker trips quickly when you try to put 600 amps through it....
