Discharging a lipo capable of this 40C rating would cause less stress and no puffing of the lipo. Whereas with 25C or 30C you are close to the max amp draw of the motor and esc. On my other RC I used 20C and the lipo got really hot and puffy cause the motor and esc were overdrawing amps... Even though people were saying 20C was fine... Plus lipos will last longer if not stressed out.
