At stall, a few cim motors can draw 100's of amps. Multiply that by the internal resistance of the battery (around 10mOhm) and subtract it from 12 or 13, and I wouldn't be surprised if you only had 6-8 volts coming out of the battery at that given moment. LEDs tend to be dim when they only have 2 volts potential across them.
