Not a lot... but enough. I didn't believe it so I had to try it with mine, and like magic the motor would turn with no main battery hooked up at all.
I think this lead to some regs where they had you pull your ESC's red lead wire from the receiver.
So did the x-pak make it through the entire run or did it dump? The reason I pulled the red wire in my car was to eliminate radio problems. My car was not drivable till I removed that wire.
