RE: servo plate
Not really. The best thing you can do is try to eliminate some steps. Maybe have a few things plastic dipped to have a better waterproof seal. I find having a good compressor really helps. I use a 5HP 20gallon and works great. There aren't too many screws to remove depending on which model you have. 4 on the bottom, 1 on top (brace area) and your servo horn screws. (2 or 3 - depends on what you have)
Keep in mind if you have any FG's with the aluminum side guards make sure you place a pc of plastci to them to eliminate more dirt getting in.
Hope this helps

RE: servo plate
erm, im sure this method of cleaning isnt for everybody but it works for me......
make sure the receiver box is sealed(silicone)get the garden hose and some motorcycle cleaner(castrol greentec from halfords)and an alloy wheel cleaning brush(also from halfrauds!). hose the wheels off first then spray the cleaner everywhere with gay abandon! have a fag then set about it with the hose and the brush. the brush gets pretty much everywhere including under the radio plate
. the only thing i remove is the fuel tank(2 screws)this lets you get everywhere easily.stand it up on end for an hour in the dry then bring it in and quickly wipe round with kitchen towel to finish.im lucky ive got air duct heating so i just leave it in front of a duct to dry off.if i didnt i'd use a hair dryer or heat gun. then spray WD40 on the electrics,ball joints,bearings and gears.
like i say, works for me with no probs.
