The gear shafts do not spin
They are jammed in the chassis and the gear bearings sit on the shaft and allow the gear to rotate on the fixed shaft. In theory then the carbon shafts are non rotational mass so there is no great advantage in having them in the car unless you are desperately in need of loosing some small amount of weight.
