Linear Rail is Missing a Slit

Hello,

I ordered the LR3 kit from Ryan at V1 and I was assembling and noticed one of my linear rails is missing a feature. There’s a slot that’s on 3 of my rails but not the fourth. I tried googling to figure out the purpose of this slot but could not. Does anyone know if it’s a problem to use that one?

Is the truck on it the right way?

Yes it is since the other side has the countersunk holes. It’s the left one in this photo

For what we are doing with them that slit provides no use. I’m sure it was just a case of 3 from one batch with them and 1 from a batch without. Once you have it together you will never know if its there or not.

Yes I think that is likely it. I spent a bit of time looking around at other rails and most other have it, but there’s a few that don’t. I’ve continued assembling with it and will report back if I run into any issue that I think are related to the rail slit missing. Thanks.
