Default Axe CX...fried?

I have had an E-Flite MCX for several weeks and although I like it, I wanted to take another step forward and buy a heli that is a little more difficult to fly. Yesterday, I bought an AXE Cx, charged the battery, had about five minutes of flight and it dropped out of the air (living room). I figured that since it was the first charge for the battery, it simply wasn't charged to full capacity. I recharged the battery (until green light on stock charger), but the helicopter will not take off. After about two seconds of power, the ESC shuts down. I did not do anything to warrant it, but the electronics have that 'burnt' smell. [] Surely it could not be not fried, could it!?!

Could this be related to the battery recall that I read about? If so, I guess that could mean that the battery was too much for the electronics, huh? [&o]
