Default Unsolvable problem...

Hello, im definitely not a noob when it comes to nitro engines but this one has me stumped. My vspec wont idle, not at all. After run it it was going perfectly for my first day with it at the track, idled forever, plenty of power, no problems. I went back the next weekend and started it up but couldnt get it to idle. It wouldnt, i thought this strange so I did the obvious thing and turned up the idle speed, still no result. I can rev it on the box fine and if I hold it slightly above idle it idles fine, but the moment I drop it to idle it cuts out as if for no reason. I thought this was a glowplug problem as idle probs usually are so I replaced the plug and still the same thing! Ive taken the carb off to check O-rings, ive fiddled with the tune, everything i can think of and still nothing. I turned the idle screw in so far at one point that it jammed the carb by pushing against the slider and still it wont idle. Its not a bog down just and instantaneous cut-out the moment it hits idle. ANY IDEAS? im going crazy :P
