Default Parts For Old Radio Shack Nitro Burner??

I've recently got interested in one of my old RC cars that I had when I was a kid. Played with this thing for many years until a screw fell out of the knuckle (lost it) and I lost interest. At the time radioshack sold all sorts of parts for it... I was a kid and the only reason I can think up was I didnt have the money to buy parts... Idk... I've emailed them to see if they still have any but Im assuming they do not.

Anyway! Is it possible to swap out the plastic bushings for brass or for bearings? I've looking around a bit but cant find anything that gives sizes. Mine are badly worn, lost of play in the wheel. I'm pondering buying a parts car on ebay and rebuilding mine just so it all works again but that wouldnt keep the bushings from wearing out again.. Hate to take apart what would most likely be a fine working car from ebay but......

It may not make much sense but I did buy a brand new Nitro Burner from ebay a week or so ago! Never thought I would have that kid feeling again but goodness does it take my mind off things driving it around! Still want to get my old one working again...
