When I was 12, I took my 3-wheeler apart and then re-assembled it in my room. My mom was stunned and could not figure out how I got it through the door. That was after many "batman clock" type adventures. I used to take apart Realistic transistor radios and Sears Roebuck remote controlled cars. After years and years of this stuff I developed some ability.
