I'm curious "what's changed" since last time you used your car. While a small arc can occur on occassion when connecting a lipo battery, there really shouldn't be any "huge spark" - which tells me there's a dead-short, somewhere - so it has me questioning if you've changed a connector or some other component that could have lead to a short curcuit. Usually rc electronics are fairly robust, and it just appears you have a dead short (or something connected backwards) in one of the components.

All you can really do is troubleshoot - replacing individual components, one-by-one - until you locate the offending party.

I doubt it.
As with most electronics items, most RC electronics aren't covered under warranty unless they're new out of the box (yours aren't) - especially not all 3 or 4 items. You can try, but don't hold your breath.
