Yup, a driving cab shouldn't be that expensive. If you look around and are willing to drive a few miles, you should be able to get an empty cab for pretty cheap.

The good thing about the 360 wheels is that they are very simple. I tore both of mine down, cleaned, and reassembled them in a couple hours. The only thing that wears out on them really is a teflon bushing. As long as the shaft isn't bent, you should be good to go. If it is, a machine shop should be able to help straighten it out for next to nothing. If they spin, then the only thing to check is the encoder board. If it's bad, you can always just build a hacked one from an old ball mouse for super cheap! And, depending on how you hook up to the computer, you may be using that mouse anyway!
