How to Install an E-Grip Kit on a Tippmann Project Salvo/Sierra One by HustlePaintball.com

[NozaKill44]

Got it going! the trouble was over tightening of the screws on the bottom part of the grip and receiver. The silanoid wasn't able to go up and down and the marker wouldn't recock. Now it shoots in every mode, thanks for vid hustle paintball

[NozaKill44]

Ok i just installed the egrip, i had trouble the first time. I would cock it but it wouldn't fire with the tank on or off. I took a closer look and found the magnet out of place. Would that solve my problem? It turns on and cycles thru the modes and i can hear the pin going up and down. Is that a good sign?

[TheREDOx100]

I have an off topic question. Would an apex 2 barrel 18" fit on a project salvo???

[HustlePaintball]

@TheREDOx100 Absolutely, it'll clear the stock Salvo shroud just fine! -Ethan

[sinisterrodents]

Well for the e-trig I got my Answer lol

[sinisterrodents]

Which kit would I need for the Carver One and is there a responce trigger kit i can use ???

[HustlePaintball]

@sinisterrodents The US Army E-Trigger Kit will work perfectly on your Carver One, and there is NOT a response trigger for the Carver or Alpha Black at this time :( -Ethan

[vecchio1000]

whats the diffents between e tigger and e grip ?

[HustlePaintball]

@vecchio1000 They are just different names for the same product.

[cvb8rth1]

I appreciate the help u guys provide with all of the vids. My issue is that I added the cyclone feed and E-Trigger to my Salvo but when I put it into fully auto mode it will shoot 3-5 balls then it will jam. I'll have to pull the cocking handle back so it will release the ball. Just called Tippmann and they recommended purchasing the A.C.T kit as well. So I just purchased that from your website. Do u have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it. I've never shot a full round on fully auto.

[TheSabianGuy]

If u could put this on sale for presidents day id buy it in .2 seconds

[HustlePaintball]

@TheSabianGuy You should call us :) Tell them that Ethan posted this on the YouTube video and we'll do something for you :) -Ethan

[johnwhitefield1]

Ok i gota question. after you install it are you going to have stuff sticking out? and a hold in your gun for debree and stuff to get in there or is there a cover

[HustlePaintball]

@johnwhitefield1 Nope, once you install it, everything will be covered up! -Ethan

[dannydude77]

BIG QUESTION... just tried to install my e-grip on my 98 tonight.... i had some problems but fixed them, now i have 1 last problem.... with the new bolt they gave me, the metal rod that connects to the top of the bolt and to the part that hits the ball- is coming loose from the metal bolt, and when i fire, i am chopping paint, because the front part is not hitting the ball, a hard part it.... why wont the rod stay on the new bolt?? i dont have act... plz help... thanks

[HustlePaintball]

@dannydude77 It sounds like you may have lost one of the body pins that keeps your linkage arm lined up properly. Give us a call, or call Tippmann tech support at 800-533-4831 for some more help!

[dreamfries]

after installing my e trigger on my project salvo, it started to have problems when ever i shot a round of semi auto setting it shoots 3 blanks and one paintball ? can anyone help . its the same with all settings it shoots more than onces and there blank

[HustlePaintball]

@dreamfries I have sent you a PM.

[MrHfgdhgf]

do you have to take the whole thing apart agian to take out the batery?

[HustlePaintball]

@MrHfgdhgf The window that you make in the grip frame allows you to change the battery by removing just the left side grip.

[TheSabianGuy]

@HustlePaintball thanks alot. This video helped out alot!

[TheSabianGuy]

How do you turn on the different modes? Do u press the button again?

[HustlePaintball]

@TheSabianGuy Yeah - the easiest way to explain it is to actually have you look in your user's manual - it'll detail out all the ways to tune your gun. It can be a bit overwhelming, so make sure to take your time and read that section completely, so that you understand it and will remember it on the field :)

Remember that you can also contact us at support@hustlepaintball(.)com with any questions or comments that you may have.

[yordyrmz94]

does it works with co2 or comprimid air? do I need an electronic loader? what loader do you recomende me with a good price?

[HustlePaintball]

@yordyrmz94 This works with both CO2 and Compressed Air. I would HIGHLY recommend an automatic loader, either an electronic one, or the Tippmann Cyclone Feed System (I prefer the Cyclone Feed System over an electronic loader).

Remember that you can also contact us at support@hustlepaintball(.)com with any questions or comments that you may have.

[yordyrmz94]

@HustlePaintball thank you!:)

[BrandonMurkz]

Hey, this tutorial helped me out SO much. I would of been lost without it. Great job. Your tutorials are the best. I plan on using the Cyclone tutorial next ;)

[HustlePaintball]

@BrandonMurkz :) Awesome, glad you like them!

[200Pyro]

does the cyclone and the e-grip go to gether, or can the cyclone be by itself with out installing e-grip

[HustlePaintball]

@200Pyro You do not need one for the other or vice versa. E-Grip or Cyclone can be installed separately or together.

[MrMegafatman15]

Thanks man

[MrMegafatman15]

Can an e trigger be removed

[HustlePaintball]

@MrMegafatman15 You may need to replace a few parts in the sear/spring area but an E-Grip can be converted back to a mechanical trigger.

[jimmyjustinjoe]

Do you turn it off the same way you turn it on?

[HustlePaintball]

@jimmyjustinjoe Yes indeed. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[CinemaNine360]

could you actually show me the carver one install because the internals are quite different

[HustlePaintball]

@CinemaNine360 The internals are nearly identical, In fact it uses the exact same e-grip kit. It is definitely on the list to be done, but it is not  very different from the Salvo at all.

[Money10094]

how do you change firing modes?

[HustlePaintball]

@Money10094 Just press the same button you use to turn it on, which each press it will cycle between the different modes. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[product72749]

so i installed then re-installed the e- grip to my project salvo following these directions exactly and the end result leaves me with a inconsistent release of the c02....The trigger and electronic parts move and work fine but it fails to fire any ideas?

[HustlePaintball]

@product72749 I have sent you a PM.

[spanktanks88]

thanks can't you also get a switch

[HustlePaintball]

@spanktanks88 There is the Rufus Dawg Switchpad but these only fit on the A5 and X7 Phenom grips.

[spanktanks88]

how do you switch it between the settings



[HustlePaintball]

@spanktanks88 Just press the same button you use to turn it on, which each press it will cycle between the different modes. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[Lilchino707]

Y dosent it work with the 98 custom??

[HustlePaintball]

@Lilchino707 The 98 has its own E-Grip that has some different internal pieces.

[SUPERbeast71121]

what is the diiferents between a e grip and the response trigger ?

[HustlePaintball]

@SUPERbeast71121 The E-Grip is electronic and requires a battery to operate. It has 4 different firing modes on U.S. Army markers. Semi, 12 BPS, 15 BPS, and 3 round burst. The Response Trigger uses air from your tank to push the trigger forward while you squeeze it down causing it to fire automatically for as long as you hold it in the "sweet spot". There are no specific firing modes but you can tailor the BPS to your play style and have a better level of control over how your marker shoots.

[SUPERbeast71121]

@HustlePaintball thanks for the help and this video was very helpful thank you much

[sasuke172533]

Which one is better, response trigger or e-grip?

[HustlePaintball]

@sasuke172533 It really depends on your preference, I prefer the E-grip as it is less finnicky and more efficient. But others prefer the response trigger. They are both equally awesome.

[luispi2407]

can I put a tippmann x7 e-grip on my project salvo??

[HustlePaintball]

@luispi2407 No, but you can put the U.S. Army E-Grip on the Project Salvo, which is shown in this video :).

[pmhoard]

Does the virtue or rage board I have seen on your website come with the replacement parts needed or is it just the board?

[HustlePaintball]

@pmhoard The Virtue and Rampage boards are just board upgrades. If you do not already have the E-Grip you can also get the shell kit.

[pmhoard]

@pmhoard Which Virtue board would I use for the project Salvo? I can only find one for the 98 and A5.

[JeepTJ78822189]

Can I upgrade the board on this e-grip to get (true) full auto?

[HustlePaintball]

@JeepTJ78822189 If by true full auto you mean one trigger pull gets you 15 bps then the answer is no. The board reads your fire rate and if you trip the E-Grip everything comes to life. Easy to reach this tipping point but it must be reached.

[bebittevelu]

i just got my brand new sierra 1 as my 1st marker and im totaly new in the domain and i was wondering whats the difference betwen a e-grip and a response trigger.

[HustlePaintball]

@bebittevelu The difference is that the E-grip uses batteries to achieve faster rates of fire and the response trigger functions off air. With a response trigger it basically utilizes a mechanism behind the trigger that forces it forward each time after you pull it, ultimately helping find the sweet spot a lot quicker.

[kidcassidy42]

i have a question i bought the e trigger for the alpha black for my sierra one n it only come with one armature pin. when i installed it the pin was a little loose but not to much should it be a snug fit between the sear and the soleniod or should it be loose ??? plz help

[HustlePaintball]

@kidcassidy42 I have PMd you.

[aust0001]

thank you for your time but this did not help 'my gun with a new battery will only shoot one shot and will only reset the solenoid if i hit it or it gets hit on somthing please help i am trying to sell this so i can get a BT delta elite

[HustlePaintball]

@aust0001 I have sent you a PM.

[aust0001]

please help i have this gun and egrip and my egrip shoots for about 20 rounds then the magnet stops pulling back the solenoid and it only shoot about 30 feet

[HustlePaintball]

@aust0001 As always with electronic markers and marker parts, try changing the battery and see if that cures the issue. If it doesnt it might be a more serious problem with the solenoid and board.

[dacel88]

The alpha black is the same as bravo one right?

[HustlePaintball]

@dacel88 Alpha Black is the exact same marker as the Bravo One just with a different name for international sales.

[dacel88]

@HustlePaintball Alright, Thanks, i was gona buy the e-trigger for alpha black as the video sugjested for my Sierra one, but couldn't find it on a norwegian paintball site so.

[awesomechimichanga99]

how do you change the modes for speed?

[HustlePaintball]

@awesomechimichanga99 The modes are changed the same way as turning the E-Grip on and off. The buttons that can be accessed through the grip.

[JRRCherry369]

Will the e trigger work with the cyclone feeder on a project salvo?

[HustlePaintball]

@JRRCherry369 Yes the E-Grip and Cyclone will work great together.

[ThatGuyOnTV564]

i know this is a random question but can you do a review on the SAW buttstock for the project salvo. i want to see how it looks and if its really true

[CoDBlackOpsGameplays]

is the project salvo and the sierra one exactly the same?

[HustlePaintball]

@CoDBlackOpsGameplays They are identical except for the badges.

[calinikka4life]

is it posible to change the stock and switch it on a project salvo?

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life The Salvo will take any stock that is made for the 98 style receiver.

[underdogg1134]

how many shots average will u get out of a battery?

[HustlePaintball]

@underdogg1134 Likely to be around 9,000 or so rounds

[SchweitzerGoofs123]

Will the gun still fire on semi-auto mode if the e trigger is not turned on?

[HustlePaintball]

@SchweitzerGoofs123 No, the X7 Phenom is the only marker in existence that is capable of this.

[calinikka4life]

how do u switch modes?

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life just press the power button for one second to make it cycle to the next mode.

[calinikka4life]

my rubber nob fell of i want another piece do you have it in your site?

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life The rubber cap on the cocking handle is more for shipping protection. That cap is not available as a separate item.

[calinikka4life]

i was a lil afraid because i was a lil worried of losing pieces but after watching this video like 100 times it made it eazier for me thanks and one more thing which one is better e grip or response trigger?

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life It all depends on preference, I prefer the E-grip because it saves air and is easier to program, with a lighter trigger pull. However, there are many who swear by their response triggers.

[MidnightKhail]

How do you put the batteries in and where does the battery thing go

[HustlePaintball]

@MidnightKhail The 9 volt battery is housed inside the grip frame under the left grip panel.

[Dax21234]

What if you whant to take the E-Grip out? How to you punch that thing back in were the battery goes?

[HustlePaintball]

@Dax21234 If you want to take the E-grip out of a Project Salvo, there is no way to replace the battery punch out. However, you don't need to replace it; your gun will work fine without it.

[Dax21234]

@HustlePaintball DELICIUS

[Kaboom257]

Whats the difference between an electronic hopper and an electronic grip

[HustlePaintball]

@Kaboom257 The electronic grip is a very sensitive trigger, so that you can activate your gun and fire it much more rapidaly. The electronic hopper is an automatic feeding hopper, so that the paintballs are fed into your paintball gun faster.

[Kaboom257]

Can i have an e-grip and e-trigger and an electric hopper all on the project salvo at once

[HustlePaintball]

@Kaboom257 An E-Grip and an E-Trigger are technically the same thing. You can definitely use an E-Grip/E-Trigger and electronic hopper on the Project Salvo at the same time - in fact, that is recommended! If you don't use some sort of automatic hopper on your e-gripped Salvo, you'll outshoot your hopper very quickly and break paint.

[Kaboom257]

@HustlePaintball Thanks for the advice

=) love the sight & keep up the reviews

[HustlePaintball]

@Kaboom257 Thanks so much - we appreciate your support!

[JackMazzotta]

do you need an e-grip upgrade on the salvo to be able to use the cyclone feed?

[HustlePaintball]

@JackMazzotta No you do not. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[nweid09]

No would the electric hopper get in the way with my red dot on a riser

[HustlePaintball]

@nweid09 More than likely, yes. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[nweid09]

Will it get in the way of my red dot with riser mount

[HustlePaintball]

@nweid09 The E-Grip installation is all internal and does not interfere with any external attachments.

[YourFantasyForLife]

@HustlePaintball is it easier to install the e-trigger or response trigger?

[HustlePaintball]

@YourFantasyForLife In my opinion, the E-Trigger is much easier.

[YourFantasyForLife]

@HustlePaintball and, would you recommend installing the cyclone feed system before installing the E-trigger?

[HustlePaintball]

@YourFantasyForLife The Cyclone (or another powered hopper) will be necessary to keep up with the rate of fire when using the E-Grip.

[YourFantasyForLife]

@HustlePaintball i know, but is it easier to install the E-trigger and Cyclone feed at the same time?

[HustlePaintball]

@YourFantasyForLife The Cyclone feed is an extremely simple installation, that one would be easiest to install first and make sure it works correctly before you install the e-grip. 

[YourFantasyForLife]

@HustlePaintball Thank you very much. I will definitely go to your videos for any more help!

[SharpShotSeth]

@HustlePaintball

Two questions:

If your E-grip runs out of battery does your semi-automatic still work?

For a first time paintball owner would this be difficult?

[HustlePaintball]

@SharpShotSeth The e-grip won't work if it runs out of battery so it's always a good idea to carry an extra battery. As long as you follow directions, I don't think you'd have trouble with the installation but you can see the process above and make judgement for yourself.

[nweid09]

No i mean cant you just buy an AL-200 electric loader by tippman instead of spending so much money on the upgrade.

[HustlePaintball]

@nweid09 The A5 comes standard with a cyclone feed. You do not need to upgrade for it. As for the U.S. Army markers, yes, you can use a regular electronic loader fine, it will just get in the way of most tactical accessories. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[nweid09]

Ok if i get the e grip for my salvo would a tippman electronic a-5 loader work.

[HustlePaintball]

@nweid09 I am not sure what you mean by an electronic a-5 loader. The A5 uses the Cyclone feed which is not electronic. The Cyclone feed uses air from the tank to cycle. The E-Grip and the Cyclone work very well in tandem, you would need to buy the cyclone feed upgrade as well though. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[sneakysnake2015]

I keep hearing that the Sierra One has a max of 8 BPS...Does it still peform well in 12 BPS and 15 BPS full auto modes?

[HustlePaintball]

@sneakysnake2015 The Sierra One will shoot up to 15bps just fine.

[HustlePaintball]

@PostApocalypticGames I would recommend purchasing the ACT upgrade and the Cyclone feed for it!

[MrTMC33]

So I just ordered a new Tippman Project Salvo paintball gun with the E-Grip already installed. I cocked it And it locked up what do I do?

[teeheeman1000]

how do you put it on 3 burst or fully auto, to do full auto i need to press the trigger 3 times and hold it and then it shoots. then i have to do that agian and agian. how can i get it to do 3 burst first time i pull the trigger

[HustlePaintball]

@teeheeman1000 I have sent you a pm.

[ShorinRyu74]

which is better for the project salvo, the response trigger or the e grip?

[HustlePaintball]

@ShorinRyu74 The E-Grip is better.

[teeheeman1000]

my gun wont un cock? plz help

[HustlePaintball]

@teeheeman1000 You should be able to install a battery, pull the trigger and it'll dry-fire and uncock for you (as long as there is no air connected to the gun)

[teeheeman1000]

@HustlePaintball i turned it on and cocked it then dry fired then cocked it and it wouldnt uncock when i pulled the trigger, we tried this with air aswell? do u know wat to do

[HustlePaintball]

@teeheeman1000 I've sent you a PM.

[SoonToBeAwesome]

Would you recommend buying the gun and then the e-grip and installing manually, or getting a package with the e-grip and selling stuff I don't need?

[HustlePaintball]

@SoonToBeAwesome It is less expensive to buy the E-Grip factory installed then to buy the basic and upgrade.

[ThaBoss440]

does this work for the sierra one

[HustlePaintball]

@ThaBoss440 Yes, it will work for the Sierra One.

[calinikka4life]

hey man i got my project salvo like two weeks ago and my goal was to get the e-grip and the X7 low profile cyclone hopper..i seen the video like 10 times and its been making it easier for me to install the only part that got me the chills was cutting the grip ...how exactly can i cut it perfectly???thanks

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life The holes are pre-scored, so when you punch them out, the holes should be very clean and in the proper area.

[calinikka4life]

@HustlePaintball i seen it its like to little holes that are not completely punch out .......i am going to order it in your guys website....to make sure the cyclone feed hopper comes with the X7 low profile right?

[HustlePaintball]

@calinikka4life Yes, the Cyclone Feed Upgrade does come with the X7 Low Profile Hopper.

[MRxRUBERDUCKY]

sweet im gonna get an e-grip soon, thanks!

[ForeverRojinegro]

THANKS MAN!!!!!

[HustlePaintball]

@GameTreats They are exactly the same, there is one upgrade that fits both markers.

[tapoutusa1]

thanks for the video....helped me a lot =)

[monkeywhiskers420]

to change the firing modes do you just push the on button after the e-grip is turned on?

[HustlePaintball]

@monkeywhiskers420 Yes. You are exactly correct, the modes are chosen by cycling through the modes with that button.

[Ice5049]

I just bought the salvo and waiting next month to get the e grip will ill be able to shoot fast without the e grip.

[HustlePaintball]

@Ice5049 As fast as your finger can pull the trigger.

[Ghost13Paintball]

it will not turn off after a while of non use will it?

[HustlePaintball]

@Ghost13Paintball The Tippmann E-Grip does have an auto-off feature, yes.

[Ghost13Paintball]

@HustlePaintball oh ok thanks

[armmgfj]

i have a question can u still fire the gun when the e grip is turned off?

[HustlePaintball]

@armmgfj There is currently only one Tippmann marker that works in semi-auto without a battery and that is the X7 Phenom. All others will not fire at all without power.

[mrtibbles96]

hi how do u change the firing mode'

[HustlePaintball]

@mrtibbles96 On the front of your E-grip you will see two different holes. One with an LED the other with a small button to change modes. The easiest way to change it is with an allen wrench.

[laxpaintballBrad]

Is there anyway to make the power button longer so you do not have to use a wrench to turn it on? Please please let me know.

[HustlePaintball]

@laxpaintballBrad Any modification like this would be a do it yourself project. There are no parts available for this specific mod.

[KkSuperAdi]

Hi I needed some basically I brought a used e trigger for my project salvo and was having a problem when I use to put my compressed air tank to my gun I could shoot on semi and 3 round burst a few shots and it would cut of and just hear the e grip and no air supply. Also I don't know if this can be the problem basically I was given a standard sear spring and not the silver spring with the kit. I got a black hard spring and this bethe cause of my issue??? Please can you help

[HustlePaintball]

@KkSuperAdi Yes - if you don't replace the sear and sear spring when you install the E-Grip kit, you can definitely have issues.

Check out our website (I'll PM you a link) for replacement Tippmann parts.

[GarrettGetsHigh420]

But rocker triggers got discontinued for spyder TL-r markers? Would eBay Be a safe bet??? Also there are No tut on how to istall it?? WTF?

[GarrettGetsHigh420]

So is putting a etrigger basically the same on most guns like the spyder TL-r? (Srry noob to paintballing)

[HustlePaintball]

@GarrettGetsHigh420 No,it is different for a lot of different types of markers, you want to do research and find out what you need to do for your specific marker.

[Jlxrzx]

Any other egrip kits or boards that have true full auto, 3 shot burst& semi auto? I dont want to shoot 4 times then hold the last shot down for full auto. I have a project salvo.

[HustlePaintball]

@Jlxrzx Check out the boards by Advanced Paintball Electronics or APE - thy will have a few more options for you.

[Jlxrzx]

@HustlePaintball Thanks, so i would just need to buy the basic egrip parts, then the board? By basic parts i mean sear, sear spring, magnet, armature pin, and jewel?. So i would install the APE just like you guys do in this video?

[HustlePaintball]

@Jlxrzx Yes, that's the most economical way to do it, so you're not spending money on the stock board, then the APE... We have all of those items on our website, go to Maintenance > Replacement Gun Parts, then use the Tippmann schematics to look up the part numbers and find it all. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[Jlxrzx]

@HustlePaintball So the installation is just like it is in this video? Any modifications on the salvo i will have to do? I already have the sides punched out for the battery on the receiver. And does the APE include programming instructions?

[HustlePaintball]

@Jlxrzx Those are all the mods you need to make. The APE board does come with full installation and programming instructions.

[Jlxrzx]

@HustlePaintball So just buy it and the egrip parts kit, and drop it in?. And i have one more question, will my cyclone be able to keep up on co2? i plan on shooting about 13 bps. I only have one soft paddle installed on it, i cant get the second one out.

[HustlePaintball]

@Jlxrzx It's always a good idea to upgrade to HPA, the CO2 will keep up, but HPA is going to be easier on your marker and give you more consistent shots and accuracy.

[Jlxrzx]

@HustlePaintball I just dont like the number of shots you get from HPA. Very low, and with the cyclone..... even less.
