Hi there, I dont know the Axe personally but I will try to help.
Chances are that you might have bust the motor...possible...or the ESC which is the thing that controls the motor...its the PCB type thing thats wired between the motor and the main battery.
When you wiggle the sticks the servos are moving?
Is there a small red light on the Gyro? this would show that the electronics are still ok.
Be careful with the main battery, a hard enough crash can cause problems with loose connections.
Other points:
I wrote a post the other day talking about this:
Small electric helicopters are hard to fly, and hard to setup so they fly well at all. There is a lot to learn about setting up, when you add to this with cheap junk electronics the heli can get a bit unreliable. I am not calling you for buying a 'deal' heli...so dont get me wrong....everyone likes a deal and not all people have tons of cash to throw about.
My advice?
If you havent got a Simulator...GET ONE.....even the most basic sim will help you...use it till you can fly well...by this I mean you can hover...and keep it in one place...anyone can fly around and look good....but real control is in hovering and precise handling...treat the sim as a tool and not a game and you will get rewards.
The hardest part of helis is setting up...a badly setup heli wont fly well.
Its hard to advise without seeing your heli....but you can get DVDs on the subject...or even join a club where they should be able to help you. By getting into a club you will learn heaps and be better off for it.
