Default Need help please!!!

Ok, so i'm new to this whole RC Nitro scene, and just picked up my first (used) Nitro RS4 3.. Yesterday, I fired it up, and wanted to take it for a quick spin. It had rained earlier, but the roads were pretty much dry. Well, I guess they weren't as dry as I thought, with a big puddle next to a curb!! And what do you know, my car happens to land in a 4-5 inch puddle. The car just died.

So I took it back inside, tried wiping everything off, and just let it sit overnight. This morning, I tried starting it, and it did start up, so I think the engine is fine. However, I did notice something very strange. My steering works, and my throttle also works, but when I go to brake, the throttle linkage, is twitching.

Please help me as I have no clue what to do with this thing!!

TIA
