Default Killswitch interference or low battery?

A funny thing happened yesterday, i took my MT to a go kart track yesterday, as this was late notice i only managed to charge my Rx battery about 2/3rds, it`s a 4300mah battery.
Well my truck seems to run fine after a bit of tuning and the new compression dome from Stevo/Rossendale.
Got through about half a tank which seemed to take forever! Then it started every now and again getting popping from the engine, i have never had this before.
I have a pico kill switch and have heard somewhere somone said it was interfering with there timing, well when i looked at the status L.E.D it was every now and again giving a very slight flicker, i don`t mean flashing in sync when you lose signal but just a slight flickering!
Could this be due to low battery or if i have low battery will it always goto the proper flashing mode?
If not it must be some kind of interference just strange it came after using it for a while.
Any help apreciated.
