Re: I might be missing something with a 6 cim drive...

The 120a Breaker is capable of instantaneous currents of over 720 amps before tripping (see attachment), and 240 amps for a considerable amount of time (for a FRC match). While not breaking the easier-to-trip 40 amp fuses, you could run much higher currents than a 4 CIM drive, which would be limited to 160 amps, for some seconds.
