It all depends on how many channels your receiver has. Assuming it is the same as the transmitter and there are two spare channels you can plug in anything you want that can then be operated from your spare channels.

You can add a servo that can be used to operate anything you care to make it do such as make a crew member pop out of a hatch, move the machine gun or anything else you can think of or you can add a switch unit and use it to operate lights, sounds, smoke etc. The possibilities are endless if you have the slots on the receiver. You can easily check by looking at the plugs already in the receiver. The row of sockets will be numbered and each of course corresponds to the channel that will operate that socket.

If the receiver and transmitter were bought as a set it will have the same number of sockets available.

Space is usually the limiting factor but with micro-servo's nowadays it is amazing what can be done.
