1. A bead lock system for a scaled vehicle comprising:
- a wheel center section being a support for a wheel of the scaled vehicle, the wheel center section including a first number of first threaded holes and a second number of first pass through holes;
a bead lock ring configured to be positioned adjacent to a face of the wheel center section, the bead lock ring including the second number of second threaded holes and the first number of second pass through holes, wherein the first threaded holes are configured to align with the second pass through holes and the first pass through holes are configured to align with the second threaded holes, wherein the first and second threaded holes having a smaller diameter than the first and second pass through holes, wherein the first and second threaded holes have a helical channel and the first and second pass through holes have smooth sidewalls;
coupling mechanisms with a helical shaft being configured to be inserted into the aligned first pass through holes and the second threaded holes or the second pass through holes and the first threaded holes, wherein the helical shaft is configured to interface with the helical channel and not interface with the smooth sidewalls of the pass through holes.

9. A method for a bead lock system for a scaled vehicle comprising:
-
aligning a first number of first threaded holes and a second number of first pass through holes within a wheel center section being a support for a wheel of the scaled vehicle with the second number of second threaded holes and the first number of second pass through holes within a bead lock ring, wherein the first and second threaded holes having a smaller diameter than the first and second pass through holes, wherein the first and second threaded holes have a helical channel and the first and second pass through holes have smooth sidewalls; inserting coupling mechanisms with a helical shaft into the aligned first pass through holes and the second threaded holes or the second pass through holes and the first threaded holes, wherein the helical shaft is configured to interface with the helical channel and not interface with the smooth sidewalls of the pass through holes. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
