You dont need a slotted axle but its helpful to match whatever you have now.

If your current axle is slotted and you acquire a non-slotted axle you'll have to grind away the 'slot tabs' on your washers. Thats very easy or a pain depending on what tools you own. Back in the day I'd clamp the washers in a vice and file them off. A Dremel would work nicely as well.
