well i took a spill with my heli. it looks like the blades hit the lipo a couple of times. it looks to be just dented up. so i'm tring to determin if it's still useable or not. i don't know what do you guys think? and also it doesn't seem to be leaking at all it looks kind of beat up though.

Tough to tell from the description. I'd say if nothing is perforated it's probably ok. Check to voltage. Should be over 3 volts per cell if its ok. Try charging it. Do it in a fireproof container away form anything that might be flammable. Keep a very close eye on it if you see any swelling or heating disconnect it. Final charged voltage should be around 4.2 volts per cell.
Happy landings
