You shorted something and now it is destroyed by the very high current.

Learn how to write English properly then learn about electronics.
You will be able to fix the car in a few years.

Maybe you can get a replacement receiver.

Before you clean or work on any electronic device the single most important thing you can possibly do is REMOVE POWER TO THE DEVICE. You try to fiddle around with something like a monitor while the power is still connected and it will kill you. Receivers for RC equipment should ALWAYS be enclosed at the very least in plastic bags before operating. Junk gunk grease grime and gopher guts will get into places you never knew existed if it's not properly covered before running.

Remember all electronics run on smoke, when you release the smoke they break.

"Gopher guts" remind me to stay clear of RC cars.

I went to an outdoors mall that had a hobby store. (Bill, the one in Streetsville)
ZZZOOOM! A very fast and powerful gas-powered RC car went past me in the parking lot and nearly knocked me off my feet!

It stopped just as quickly as it accellerated. Before seeing that one I thought electric RC cars were fast.

The real world has gopher guts blueroom =) You can engineer just about anything in an enclosed environment and make it work forever, until it encounters the 'real world'

Ahh yes the campfire song

Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat.
Dirty little birdies' feet.
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
floating in my ice cream, And me without my spoon!

Electric RCs are still faster and accelerate faster too- they just can't run as long.

A gas car with a decent gear box should beat the pants off an electric.

You've screwed everything else up, you might as well screw up your courage and tell your Dad.

Also, isn't it spelled "youse" and not "use", let's get our spelling right here.
