It's hard anodized. Over cleaner should do a pretty good job on it, just be sure to read over the list of precautions first ;)

I polished the motor plate on my RC10 T2's hard anodised,black motor plate.
I have a drill press with a wire brush wheel in it...2 minutes later,a shiny motor plate! :wink:

oven cleaner is the way to . helpful hint..... when you apply the oven cleaner rap the part in plastic wrap, it keep the lye based chemicals from evaporating to quickly, and will cut down the the time it takes to strip your parts....good luck

a freezer bag works perfectly for that.

and the yellow top easy off is far more effective than the blue.
