Just give me a standard steel or aluminum driveshaft and keep the exotic materials.

nicked during maintenance?!? how is there going to be a nick on a carbon driveshaft..its strongly than steel and it takes a lot more torque to deform it. now it wont bend and it will shatter and fray but at this point a steel shaft would be well beyond broken as well.
