They are aluminum threaded shocks for the minizilla. Don't remember the brand.

Looks great in the video! Nice to see a different approach to building chassis/body.

Have you tried "outboarding" the shocks.
At the axle, use a longer 2mm screw - and place the shock's lower eye outside of the axle brackets. Use a spare rod end ball or spacer between the "fingers" of the axle bracket to prevent them bending.
This will improve shock action throughout the range of movement - keeps them more inline (the angles of yours look a little narrower at the bottom.)

keep up the good work.

Thanks for the help. I already "widened" the shock holder in the axles. Still a bit narrower than in the chassis.

Here you can see what I did:
