Default Brake Cleaner

So when my car was getting caked in dirt I asked a couple of fellow racers how they were cleaning their vehicles (10th buggies) and they answered "just use brake cleaner".

So I bought some today, got home tonight and sprayed my gear with it, then wiped everything drive with cloth.

Then I notice lots of threads/posts on other forums about how terrible brake cleaner is on plastics! Doh!

So I was using a wynns None-chlorinated spray, it doesn't warn about plastics anywhere and does say its electrical safe (dumbly I assumed it was just like motor spray)...my question is, how quickly would it corrode servo case and or receiver wire insulation etc? How long before I know if I've wrecked god knows how much equipment!?
