I am going to add a water pump to my axial so it looks like a fire truck when it squirts water

I really like the idea someone mentioned earlier! Using the 3rd servo to actuate a self-righting mechanism, especially on a crawler!

Try a gyro for wheelies? Kinda doubt it would work, but it would be col to try.
With a 3rd channel (which I have and might try), put a camera on it. Not sure what good it would do to take stills, but it would still be cool!
Other ideas... Spray can for making lines/graffiti. Wait, who said graffiti? Wasn't me
or any kind of shooting mechanism (airsoft, paintball, BB's, water gun (not the best idea in electrics..).

A third servo could be used to run a camera, left to right, but consider using a fourth servo and you can move the camera up and down as well, now add real expencive VR headset and electronic system to it and you have VR camera driving.
You sit on a seat in the shade pull the VR goggles down and drive, and you can turn your head left right up down and get about 60 degrees of angle view.Amazin !
Been done on planes looks AWSOME !

access, I had the same Idea with the flashing lights and siren. I have all the parts but have never put it together, maybe I'll work on it next rainy day. here is the 'siren' i bought, works on receiver voltage (I tried it) EXTRA-LOUD MINI PIEZO SIREN | All Electronics Corp. I have a bunch of flashing leds of red white and blue colors, not quite as good as a circuit that blinks them in a sequence but when I get around to it they'll go on the ambulance body that currently resides on the lunchbox.

Where do you get the power for this? Do you just plug it onto the receiver somewhere? Please explain. Thanks Ron

this one is possibly my more complicated ones (due to naze32, minimOSD, 600mw vts, FPV setup).... ATM its got a 6ch receiver that uses the 3ch to turn on/off the FPV setup.
it use to have pan and tilt, but the mechanism was to sloppy for a crawler. it was fine on a quad copter but on a crawler it just got shaken around
here i think i have a video
here is it mixed with the steering.... bad idea.... impossible to drive
and on its own set of switches.
In the end i removed all that crap and my picture quality is heaps heaps better..... and once the camera is set, u dont need to move it... well IMO anyway lol
