here is a link to your receiver

klick the picture then you can see how to conect.
The bottom one is for binding.I did also use that for powering.
That will say the one with to wires.
It is in these order from left : SIGNAL -PLUS-MINUS
:ORANGE-RED -BROWN
The bottom one is for your batteri.Then steering.Then throttle.
If you put the batteri connection wrong way you will shortcut your receiver.
As you already exsperienced with your receiver.
You need to find a new receiver and be careful when you connect it.
I guess you have a spectrum transmitter,so go and buy a spectrum receiver so you can reuse your transmitter...
