Only way to run them IMO. I know its not the same but when I was running 1/8 nitro off-road, all the Losi guys would run the pre-drilled alloy caps--the reason being by the end of the run the sealed air above the bladder would actually heat up and increase pressure-- increasing the rebound quite a bit. TC most likely won't heat up the air as much but by drilling you totally eliminate that variable as now the air pressure will be relieved. Plus easier to get 0 rebound if that is what you prefer.
