Alright I need some help from people who know a little more about YYR’s than I do. I need some response for my Stargazer V2. I know IRpads fit but I don’t know exactly which size fit them. I was also wondering if there was any other type of pads that would fit it? Heres a pic of my stargazer: [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8350/8201033063\_8279b5e7c7.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8350/8201033063_8279b5e7c7.jpg) Thanks for any help? ---

Lol I literally just had this problem. Same exact model and color. You want the “Regular Normal 2010” IrPads. ---

Probably. What’s wrong with IrPads? They’re worth it. Trust me. ---

Take a knife, and slowly slice off the excess pad that sticks out. That is the best solution considering how hard YYR slim pads are to come by these days. ---

I HATED the YYR thin pads, they wear out quickly (especially in a Dreadnought G). For a more permanent solution, if you really like your older YYR, is to get a good modder to recess it for silicone.
