The only downside to rubber tracks is that they can only carry vechilcles up to 30 tons.
Many toy train tracks are made out of wood, which is typically safe as long as they don't have sharp edges. Some are made with rubber, but they are less common. If you are referring to the electric train sets for kids (and adults), they use metal tracks that connect together and power the trains through its metal wheels. Non-electric toy trains may have wood, plastic, or rubber tracks.
Caterpillar tracks are knobbly strips of metal or rubber, which wrap around the wheels of tanks, bulldozers and other off road vehicles. They stop the wheels from getting stuck in muddy or sandy ground. This is a very helpful technique.

Yes it is. Rubber can be bend wherelse the metal cannot!
Electric wires are made out of metal, typically copper or aluminum, because metals are good conductors of electricity. Rubber is an insulator, which means it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Using metal wires ensures efficient transmission of electricity while minimizing energy loss due to resistance.
Yes, metal plates are generally heavier than rubber.
Players can wear metal tipped cleats, plastic tipped cleats, or rubber cleats. Generally, rubber cleats are used when playing on artificial turf and are round. Cleats used outdoors are detachable and can be replaced with a different type or length depending on the playing conditions.
The tire is predominantly rubber, which is non-metal.
