Re: 30a breaker for 40a spot on pdb
Literally thousands of teams have been using 4 CIM drivetrains with 40A breakers on each CIM for years. I doubt this is your issue.

Personally, my team has never tripped the 120A main breaker. We've had the 40A's in a 4CIM treaded tank drive stalled and popping, and never popping the main. I would look to something mechanical, or possibly a faulty main breaker.
