i don't know about a sidewinder, my goat stops the motor drive and leaves you with servo control,
my FX-R will do similar i think, just make sure you have set the lipo cutoff setting in your sidewinder and all should be good. It should cut off at 3V/cell

If you have the lipo cutoff set it should just feel like the batt is dead. ie it won't climb or basicly move. hehehe. If you don't have the cutoff set you should set it. The sidewinder has a auto detect setting if you use lipo's or a manual 1. If you use reg. (nimh) cells also on this truck I guess you could just watch for a drop in performance. Needs more throttle imput. Nimh with the lipo cutoff will cause problems as the batt. drains.
