Some of the guys at a local track (LCRC, which is also an ATV/cycle shop) showed me some Motul Motowash concentrated cleaner, and I've been using it ever since. 1 liter pump bottle is about $15 shipped, it's strong enough such that you can cut it 50:50 with water for 2 liters. Aside from being impossible to beat price-wise, it works really, REALLY well.
Works great to cut grease and dirt and super plastic friendly. Biodegradable.
For what it's worth, if the bearings are sealed I wouldn't hit them with lube. It won't really penetrate well and will collect more dirt. Also make sure you don't spray compressed air on the bearings as you'll inject them with grit which will kill them.

Cleaning, spray w simple green 50/50, rinse w water, use compressor to blow off, wd40 all plastics and wipe down w a towel. Fast and awesome results.

I would be careful with any liquid it would tend to wash the dirt down into the circuit boards... if you turn it upside down and brush it with a paintbrush most will come off.
Using compressed air is pretty sketchy too as it blows dirt INTO the bearings... the seals dont really seal all that well. I pop the seals out and pack the outer side of the bearing with grease then reseal to create a barrier to dirt and dust.
turning the truck upside down and whacking the bottom of the chassis with a good sized screwdriver knocks a LOT of the dirt out.
