Re: hiding the front license plate
R/C servos are running on about 6 volts (4 1.5 AA batteries). I don't think you're going to get enough 'throw' out of a r/c servo. Most of them only turn about 180*. You might get 2" of license plate movement which isn't enough.
If you can find an electronic solenoid with enough throw, that would work also. The weight of the plate would keep it down when needed. When you want it up, flip a switch to send 12V to the solenoid and it would suck it up with the power of the electromagnet.
