  • I own an Alpha Black from Tippmann, I don't think that part's really relevant, my problem is that the gun skips every other shot and chops paint like a wood chipper. I have personally had every internal part replaced and it hadn't fixed it. Is this something that may be resolved with a new board, or am I wasting $100?

  • where can i buy this year of A5? cause i wanna get one of these but put a different body on it and it only fit later model of a5 any ideas?

  • Dear Mike,

    Can you put the virtue board into a regular trigger frame? Like one that is straight out of the box. Or do you have to buy a whole new trigger frame to put the Virtue (or any board) in it? Please get back to me, it would be a great help. Thanks(:

  • fuck this music ! shit

  • hey does the gun need a e-grip to use the board

  • @askclan2016 does the gun need air to shoot?

  • @askclan2016 yes

  • will thes broad work for a tippman bravo one

  • Comment removed

  • "Go buy you a Virtue board and we'll see you at the Mid Atlantic Open" HAHAHAHAHA!!! For those of you who didn't catch that, that was a challenge from Mike. Give em' hell Mike!!

  • @balcsik66 i totaly agree , i play at the tippmann world challenge every year and smoke world team, tippmann lost this year but you win some you lose some

  • MIKE!!!!! PLEASE RESPOND!!! does this virtue board work with the a5 H.E. electronic frame??????

  • @5ozofpain no, im pretty sure it dosent. techt t has an ape board for the a5 hall effect/x7. im considering getting it. check out to see if there are some vids on youtube, im sure there are. also google techt and go to their website

  • i did this with my a5 and now i have a problem with the safty 

  • 0:00

  • your trigger frame is missing the same hairpin than mine :(... the one that holds the egrip shaft below the sear.. where can i get this?

  • What is better the he grip or the egrip with the virtue board

  • I have a project salvo which is basically a 98 custom would this work for it?

  • do u need a egrip or can u use stock a5?

  • @Mr507paintball wondering the same thing

  • How do you change fire modes on this on an A5? When i turn it on it's flashing red light(no eye detected) and touching the button just turns it off after holding it down for a single second.

  • so any real difference in performance between the virtue and the basic e-grip?

  • i have an a5 egrip with selector switch is there any way i can buy a button for it so i dont alwayse have to use an stick

  • that thing looks heavy as shit

  • its a tippmann.. it is lol

  • but that heavy shit could easily survive your or me:)

  • do some weights...

  • hey can someone help me out i just got my a5 in the mail..it was used so a lil rough . . the board says eqaulizer on it so i believe it is a W.A.S board but there is no LED light and thereis only 2 firing modes semi auto and ramping can anyone tell me whats goin on.. is my board fried or is it just a setting ?? please any help would be great

  • if its used its probably screwed dude

  • i never needed a allen key for the ASA screw

  • I play psp/xball 5man tournament style with a a-5 with E grip, a tech t trigger, trinity and tippmann barrel, and a h.p.a. wgp tank, I have no problem shooting the guys with 1500 dollar ego's and dye guns off the field. Its all in the player, I have a Custom pro that is similarly set up and have the same result.

  • i used to use a centerfed 98 custom with the ape rampage board psp 15 bps and it was the same.

    in xball, when all the guns are shooting the same speed, it's the player.

  • agrree, but those players with 1500USD markers dont have to be so tight to shoot you out:) (im a a5 fan too btw)

  • @Balcsik66 seeing people with tippmanns like that is awsome

  • i want to see a vid of mike playing xball with this gun

  • Why does sometimes the gun stops shooting??... I hear clicking and the battery is new... It's like the Tippmann A5 Virtue Board reball test, it happens like that to me, how can u fix it?

  • i saw when i opene my semi auto grip on my a5 there was a rectangle for the battery and other places to put stuff like the board, if i get this board or the ape one or watever can iput it into my grip frame or do i have to bu a special one? do they sell grip frames for boards with boards in them?

  • i bought this board but i have a response trigger then i bought an e grip frame so the board would fit in it. im still having problems with it though. is the trigger pack in the response trigger different from the trigger pack in the e grip?

  • Does this make the virtue board the premier baord ahead of the WAS and APE boards now?

  • I have an X7 egrip, you can take the battery out the back of the grip without having to take appart the grip or anything and you have to turn the Egrip on with an allen key. Is there an upgrade that you can just get a switch for it without having to buy the virtue board?

  • hey I'm new whit the tippmann a5, is this e-grip? or just an update?

  • its a tippmann a5 with e grip upgraded with virtue redefined board.

  • ok :)

  • trigger assembly not trigger pack!

  • I would like to add one thing as an A-5 owner. For the battery, try not to wrap up the wire around the top of the battery connector. If you remove your grip from the gun, the remove the trigger pack, you can pull the battery out the top of the grip without having to take the side wall off the grip. Helps speed up the battery changing process. I can change mine in less than a minute :)

  • yeah it's the new style.

    does it have the selector switch?

  • yo mike, why did u say in the name of the video that its a virtue board for the E-GRIP??? while ur installing one into the stock grip that comes with the gun?

  • it is the stock E-grip that comes on the gun,yes.but it's not a stock mechanical grip.

  • mine came with a stock mechanical grip, can u buy it with the e-grip as stock?

  • yeah you can buy an A-5 with a RT or  E-grip or the stock mech one.

  • ya i got mine with an e-grip, but it cost me like 100 dollars xtra, but the one i have is different, the battery has a little compartment at the back so u dont have to take apart the whole e-grip assembly.

  • yes ,they got3i think, stock mechanical, r/T,and egrip

  • Because it has a battery in it. If you order the gun with an egrip then thats what it comes with.

    As for changing the battery, you don't need to remove the side cover. Once you pull out the grip, remove the trigger assembly and you can pull out the battery from the top with out taking apart the entire grip :)

  • 68/3000 ninja tank?

  • this board is no good unless u play in tournaments with a scenario gun lol

  • ehm what does the virtue board do for your gun?

  • haha im trying to figure out the same thing, a stock board and this doesnt seem to have much stuff different from eachother

  • more modes for one

  • why would you need more modes than the five already in your marker?

    which are they?

  • PSP Mode, NXL Mode, Millennium Mode

    Breakout Mode, Select-A-Mode and Training Mode. Why you want these I have no clue. If you are taking your A-5 to a PSP tournament, good luck, LOL

  • a lot

  • u said with a virtue u can finally get ur a5 shooting 10 bps and no offense but u can get a stock egrip shooting 20-25 bps

  • thats what mine will do plan stock e grip shots much faster than that

  • does this board have "safety fire" the pull the trigger 3 times to fire in FA and can you turn it off?

  • can you do this with a non e grip 98 c

  • mike who picks ur music for these vids its always awesome man

  • is a virtue board really worth the money for a proto slg ul

  • this may be a stupid question, but how many cases can you go through wiv that battery?

  • i played a lot with the E-grip today, it works pretty well. the only problem i had with it was that when i fired on full-auto a ball would sometimes get lodged halfway between the chamber and the cycle feed and make the gun jam.

  • Your trigger is moving to fast and your feed can't keep up with it. the factory setting ROF on a standerd E-grip is set to 15bps, so look into you're egrip instruction kit or for a video here on how to program it, it's simple enough.

  • i dont exactly see how this is better then an ape or the other boards out there

  • my pushpin is loose and it stays in but it moves back and forth. how i fix this

  • what do u mean?

  • is it on the gas hose part of the gun? even if it isn't it's perfectly fine; theres nothing to worry about. they get a little looser with more use, his tippmann is most likely new or rarely taken apart. :D

  • so from what this vid tells me, this isnt as good as the rampage board. yes?

  • MIKE MY GUN SKIP FIRES, HELP ME FIX IT

  • you need to tune you're cyclone feed, i suggest cleaning itout and lubbing it.

  • you should do a demo shot of b4 and after?

  • You do not need to unscrew and separate the grip frame to replace the battery. Once the grip is removed from the gun, simply push the safety pin out and the entire trigger block can be pulled out of the grip. Then pull the battery and wires out to replace the battery. Push the battery back in and then put the trigger block back in and line up the the safety and push it back in. I just replaced my battery yesterday. Its how i always do.

  • Does this work with the e-grip selector switch?

  • the response is better. i have both egrip and a response and at some parks u cant even use full auto at some parks with egrip and a response is pretty much full auto and u can use.

  • the e grip is way better the response trigger is trash

  • could i get the push button without the virtue board but with the e grip

  • make one

  • i was wondering if i could get that push button if i just had the egip

  • im getting an A-5 but what one is better a e-grip or response trigger i was hoping that you could help me out and tell me which one is better?

  • e trigger cause you can do response on the e trigger and 3 burst and full auto and ramping and semi auto so its alot better

  • that would go nice with my 12 inch apex and my bipod mith my carbine stock

  • its about time

  • I have 1 question. I just turned 14 yesterday and im going to buy my first paintball gun. Im thinkin about either the Tippman A-5 or the Tippman 98 custom. which do you think would be better for me???

  • your best bet is to go with the a-5.i have 98s and a-5s and i love bth guns but the a-5 is just faster and alot easier to take care of.

  • Doesnt matter... all you gotta know is that an a-5 is better thena a 98, but a 98 player could always kill an a5,

  • whats the first song?

  • I bet ya paintborg is gonna love this upgrade cause he's a tippmann whore.

  • seems like a pain in the ass to do

  • hey mike this will work for the x7 e-trigger 2 right?

  • he really has to get a flatline on that thing

    it would make it much better the stock barrel is not really good

  • apex!!! w00t

  • Give me a TechPB sticker!

  • haha crazy! i own an A5, but then again i only play woods ball. would like to see this used in psp tho lol, could be funny

  • hehehehehe i wonder what it would look like if you pitch up at the PSP with a A5 againsy egos and DMs LMAO

  • your a douch bag

  • uhhh I was at the strawberry festival you moron, that was the widowmaker's rookie team at CFP

    If your buddy wants to play against me and my novice team, let me know.

    It was just one of our beginners wearing my jersey because we haven't ordered them jerseys yet. I was at the strawberry festival with my wife and daughters you fucking retard

  • wow bunch of fucking losers thinking that there good

  • any one that can help with all the small paintball stuff is good iam sure you dont know holf what he knows

  • i know alot more than you will ever know

  • Beat his ass, mike.

  • proto4life dont be a cancer

  • your team mate did. huh... Does that make you the retarded cheer leader on the side lines?

  • Dont be retarded...... fuckin dick head.

  • What, no OLED screen!?!

  • I don't see many people having a use for this..

  • haha "If my gun shoots 15bps i can mow you on the field" "Ok great see you at mid atlantic open."

  • lol. virtue for a5 :S

  • That is a kickass screw driver.

  • Mike is at a new spot :O

  • mike im looking to buy an etek 2. should i get the star frame or no?

  • or you can get the tippman a5 egrip (stock) it shoots 15 sps

  • i see that makes sense. but the other boards have uncapped modes right?

  • how come that virtue board is capped at 15?

  • Its PSP legal.

    as well the stock speed of a cyclone feed is 15 BPS.

  • best method of taking apart your $200 gun? brute force, of course :D lol

  • haha!!!

  • "well know you can buy a virtue board and we will see you at the mid atlantic open" lol

  • Do you need any upgrads for the Cyclone when you get an egrip so you don't chop paint?

  • you cant stop the chopping, it is inevitable

  • get a different gun. if you have the 98. get a bt rip clip for it. way better

  • why a rip clip?  why not get a normal loader

    like a relaoder b velocity or sumkthing

  • because the space betrween the loader and the breach is smaller. also a lower profile

  • because the Tippmann A-5 doesn't have a feedneck for a regular hopper. That hopper is for the Tippmann Cyclone Feed system which is on the Side of the Gun because it has co2 run through it to feed balls every time a shot is fired. This is also why the A-5 is an air eater.

  • it uses no extra air to operate the cyclone, just left over gas. the a5 is no less eficient than 98c

  • you videos have helped me with lots of stuff so keep doing what u do for me and every body else who gets help from your videos too

  • great vid mike

  • i still would never get a A5 in speedball cause you will have that shit hopper on the side

  • that is a nifty little tool ya got there

  • so you can just buy the board and put it in a stock tippmann a-5 semi-auto?

  • no you need the e-grip

  • Wooot for Ninja Tanks just got mine in the other day

  • WOO? you uploaded tis video on my birthday! :D!!!!!!!

  • NICE I LOVE VIRTUE!!!

  • wats the name of the song at the end of the vid????

    THX

  • mike ur lazy i mean a automatic screw driver lol

  • hahahahaha

    This is how you know TechPB has sold out, and that we have become completely full of ourselves....

    We use an automatic screw driver hahahaha

  • love the air tank mike, best tank made

  • Hmm.

    I wonder if it'll be better than my APE?

  • yes.

  • Awesome man! I'm going to pick one up this summer hopefully.

  • I find it funny that he takes the hole grip apart. al you have to do it pop out the safty remove the trigger assembaly and the battary slides in and out from there, it was desined so you didnt have to take it all apart like a 98...I still may look into one of these bords, I do like my stock one but IDK.

  • if i didnt take the grip apart, how would I install the bolt, coil and solenoid? You can't shove the board, solenoid, coil and wire harness through the battery slot.

    Unless you know something I dont, you can't install a new board without taking the grip apart.

    Do you know something I dont?

  • I was refering to the coment "if you have owned an E-grip you have done this a 100 times just because you need to get down to this inorder to swap out your battery". yes I realised that you needed to do the hole brake down to swap out the bord but I was corecting you on the fact of swaping out the battery. I was just clarifying it for people that jsut got an E-grip, I think you new what you were doing you just slipped up thats all. I liked your vid have a nice day.

  • eh, i think my APE Rampage II board is much better than that Virtue. I can set it for whatever the hell I want. Identity Crisis Paintball for the win!! lol

  • Good for tippman owners!

    It just seems kinda sad that the board is worth as much as the gun itself in my opinion.

  • uhhh.. that's not true at all.

  • bwahaha your funny in this video. Very comical with the jokes.

  • OK so i asked why tippmans aren't cool and i get negative point thingys. It takes more skill to use a tippman than it does to use a dm, ego and etc..

  • yes but tippmanns have cyclone feeds which cant be used on the airball field due to them sticking out an extra 5, if u want something that takes skill try pump stock class

  • True but i would never use a tippmann on the airball feild lol. I just meant that its harder and more skillful to use a tippymann. And pumps do take skill, i have a karni pump that i use every couple of months.

  • Called Virtue and it comes out in another week or so and I think he said it will cost $115 or $150, wonder if it's better to get the HE Grip instead.

  • Virtue doesn't have jack on their site for the A5 yet, or maybe I'm blind.

  • i like how he usually takes things apart super carefully with tiny allen keys, but with the a5 he can whack it with a screwdriver and use power tools. lol

  • what song wsa that

  • You can pull out the battery without taking apart the entire frame.  Just remove the trigger pack and slide the battery out... it makes it a little quicker :)

  • Did you buy the a5 just for this video?

  • hes had that a5

  • actually I stole it from a woodsball player who went back into the woods looking for his pod.

    don't tell anyone

  • witty mike, witty haha

  • is the egrip on the A-5 the same as on the X7? jw cuz i dont know jack about tippman. but i might get this for my bro.

  • i think so but u might want to ask some one at ur local store or some one that ownes one

  • Im pretty sure that the X7 feeds faster than the a5

  • It's just that the stock internals on the X7 are better than the A5; with Vortex mod, lightning rod, and squeegee paddles, (which you would want to get with an A5 or an X7) it evens it all out. I would dare to say that with this board and all the cyclone mods, the X7 is a waste of money over the A5.

  • How much did Duracell pay you, eh?

    just playin, nice vid.
